sitzlejd 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 It's probably just me, but I find rugby mind-numbing to watch. Seems like fun to play though. Considering how many countries play it I'm surprised it wasn't already an Olympic sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecLeagueHero 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Rugby is a game that you really have to understand to enjoy watching it. Sure, it's more fun to play than watch but I can't really think of anything to which that doesn't apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotty 7 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 shitty thing is, golf will debut at the 2016 rio games... a place that is famous for having like TWO decent golf courses. definitely not suitable for world class players. which means that they'll have to build one... which is a total waste of money because brazil isnt exactly known as a hotbed for golf vacations (one course wont get them there, either) and it will take up massive amounts of space.

Hockeyman11385 1 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 It's entertaining to hear the golf pundits be thrilled about the fact that golf is going to be part of the olympics and then they actually start thinking about it and realize that there's no where to play the tournament. I'm happy that golf got in but it's going to be interesting to see what they end up doing about the venue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RecLeagueHero 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 7's is fun, but it's a spring training game for the backs and loose fowards if they have the foot speed. I don't really consider that to be actual rugby. I could see, for the spectator aspect, playing league, instead of union, rules. But that seems like a really off selection to me.

Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2009 7's is a joke, get real Rugby in there. Golf in the Olympics is also a joke. Some of the BS sports added in these days are just stupid. Things like BMX are bizzare to say the least. I think they need to start capping which sports are in, who would pay for tickets to go see Olympic Golf?
